“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane and I were most pleased to be included in Timothy Foote’s story about Dick Bach in the issue of November 13, 1972. [...]

[...] For a while there was no other issue to take his concentration away.

(Long pause.) I am taking my time here, for there are some issues that I would like to clear up, that are difficult to explain.

[...] The Arab world still needs the West, and again, it is better that those issues come to light now, while they must to some extent consider the rest of the world.

The main issue, however, in that particular era, was a shared belief system, a system that consisted of, among other things, implied images that were neither here nor there—neither entirely earthly nor entirely divine—a mythology of God, angels, demons, an entire host of Biblical characters that were images in man’s imagination, images to be physically portrayed. [...]

[...] Whether the artist disagreed with certain issues or not, the belief system was there as an invisible framework. [...]

[...] [Mrs. Steffans] tried to live on the outside, while she was always concerned with inner issues, and it was on your parts indicative of a creative tension between the two. [...]

[...] The ordeal issues are dissolving, in other words. [...]

[...] And used as you have just begun using it, it can show you through action some issues most difficult to describe. [...]

[...] These issues and processes then act as excellent feedback, and reverse the negative habits that before operated.

[...] We had the magazine on hand but I hadn’t noticed the article, in the December/81 issue. [...]

(9:04.) The main issue, again, must be away from a concentration on the proposition that Ruburt’s condition constantly worsens. [...]

[...] I want to get into some other issues here. [...]

[...] I will have more to say about that issue in particular at our next session.

[...] I will answer your main question this evening—but I will approach that material of course in my own way, and I will begin by reminding you of some important issues mentioned before. [...]

(Long pause.) These issues are extremely vital in cases of creativity also, although they operate in all areas. [...]

[...] It does also represent the highest therapeutic value, however, as such issues are brought out into the open. [...]

[...] There is nothing outside of yourself that will force you to understand these issues or face them.

Now I am emphasizing the issue of hate in this chapter on reincarnation because its results can be so disastrous. [...]

[...] They are forcing the issue, and forcing the crisis, for you still have time to change your ways. [...]

[...] It will not matter whether or not they understand deeper issues upon which the whole nature of physical reality itself depends. The material I am giving now will attempt some explanation of those deeper issues.

[...] The fact remains that in speaking of probabilities thus far, I have simplified the issues considerably. [...]

[...] If you want to relax and you are tense, it is often simpler to bypass the issue, and tell yourself instead to imagine a peaceful scene, in which case you will relax without ordering your muscles to do so. [...]

[...] If you confuse the issues you try to temper your creativity (to gain approval, etc.) which can dilute the work; or you set up protective measures to protect yourself against the worlds disapproval or scorn.

[...] If Ruburt understands these issues the entire affair will resolve itself, for he will feel at one with himself. [...]

[...] The main issue, again, is to reassure that one important portion of Ruburt’s personality that the self is not sinful, not bad or evil, and to show it the limited nature of the framework that so defined it. [...]

The only other times there is any such difficulty also involve responsibility when he concentrates upon his responsibility to hold the sessions—that is, when he focuses upon need, function, or utility as separate from other issues involved. [...]

[...] All of these issues are highly important. [...]

[...] It is when they are hidden that difficulties arise, because their charge is then added to other issues. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s very early poetry offended Father Boyle, who objected to its themes, and who burned his books on the fall of Rome, so he had more than a hypothetical feeling about such issues. [...]

[...] That issue, however, is relatively unimportant.

[...] It is true in terms of culture that the two of you may feel quite alone in this endeavor, but in terms of more basic issues you are not alone, for you have all of the power of nature on your side.

[...] These should include such issues as getting along well with others, being attractive, being good with plants or animals, being a good carpenter or cook. [...]

(10:01.) Any help that you give to others will come through the creative utilization of your own characteristics and no one else’s. Do not get upset with yourself when you find yourself dwelling on negative issues in your life. [...]

[...] It is a good idea, then, to remember that regardless of appearances at any given time, those issues are being settled to your satisfaction. [...]

Since the source is not understood, no exterior manipulation in the social structure will be effective enough, and the person involved will see the problem personified in every issue. [...]

[...] If this is done the question at issue will seem forever outside of you, beyond solution, and of mass proportion. [...]

[...] It may not be “out to get you” as viciously as Dineen believes that evil is bent on threatening her, but the issues are the same.
